Decoding Amitabh Bachchan's look from KBC 17 episode 1

Amitabh Bachchan's look in KBC 17 episode 1 is all about style. The TV show host is seen donning a rather funky suit with black pants, thus giving the classic an Indo-western spin. Some could even argue that Big B might have been inspired by Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Jethalal style, for he is seen wearing such funky outfits on the comedy show over the years, and was identified for them at one point of time.
